MLB News: Injury derails scheduled clash of D-Backs, Blue Jays aces


Arizona’s Zac Gallen is one of the favorites in the National League Cy Young Award race, while Toronto’s Kevin Gausman is one of the top contenders for the American League honor.

The two All-Star right-handers were scheduled to square off Saturday when the Diamondbacks face the host Blue Jays in the middle contest of a three-game set. Toronto won the opener 7-2 on Friday.

Unfortunately the Blue Jays scratched Gausman hours before the game due to discomfort in his left side. An MRI showed no major concerns and he is considered day-to-day. Right-hander Chris Bassitt (8-5, 4.19 ERA) gets the start instead.

Gallen (11-3, 3.04 ERA) is tied for the major league lead in victories after placing fifth in last season’s NL Cy Young balloting. The Arizona ace started Tuesday’s All-Star Game for the NL and pitched a scoreless inning.

The Diamondbacks could use one of Gallen’s top-notch efforts on Saturday. They have lost six of their past eight games.

In nine of his 19 starts, Gallen has allowed no more than one run while pitching at least six innings. He beat the Pittsburgh Pirates in his final start before the All-Star break, giving up one run and four hits over seven innings on July 7.

Gallen, 27, also has fanned 11 or more batters four times. He has struck out 125 in 118 1/3 innings.

Gallen has never faced the Blue Jays. He has given up homers to Brandon Belt (3-for-20) and George Springer (1-for-6) when those players were with other teams.

However, Gallen has struggled on the road with a 2-3 mark and 5.08 ERA in nine starts. At home, he is 9-0 with a 1.48 ERA in 10 outings.

Toronto has won six of its past seven games.

Bassitt has not suffered a loss since June 13. The Blue Jays have won his past three starts, thanks in part to his 21 strikeouts and just four walks across 16 innings.

Bassitt is 3-0 with a 3.09 ERA in four career starts against the Diamondbacks.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit his 14th homer of the season — in his first at-bat since winning the Home Run Derby — and Matt Chapman had three hits as Toronto totaled 16 overall.

“I was looking for a good pitch to hit,” Guerrero said through an interpreter of his 426-foot blast off Ryne Nelson. “He left it right in the middle, and I put good contact on it.”

The Blue Jays pushed across five runs and sent 10 hitters to the plate in the seventh inning to snap a 2-2 tie.

Toronto closer Jordan Romano (lower back tightness) wasn’t needed on Friday but is expected to be available on Saturday if the club is in a save situation.

Arizona All-Star outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. received a long ovation when he came up to bat for the first time on Friday. Gurriel, who has 15 homers, twice hit 20 or more for the Blue Jays from 2018-22 before being traded along with catcher Gabriel Moreno to the Diamondbacks for outfielder Daulton Varsho in December.

“It’s part of the game,” Gurriel said through an interpreter. “Trades are there. You just have to understand it and move on.”

Moreno homered for Arizona in the opener.

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – DEAD RECKONING PART ONE (10/10)

Paramount Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One (2023)

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – DEAD RECKONING PART ONE (10/10)

by Tony Medley

163 minutes.

PG-13

Just looking at the runtime, this would be a good choice of a film to avoid. But that would be wrong. This is 163 minutes of a good film with a good script. But most of all it is filled with amazing, death-defying stunts. And they were all done by Tom Cruise, as usual.

Cruise is known for doing his own stunts and they are generally unbelievable. But he tops himself in this one. When I saw the film at Paramount, I was disbelieving. But then I watched the short films documenting the stunts and that made me a believer, and an admirer of Cruise who is clearly not just a pretty face. I’m not going to describe the stunts because that might act as spoilers, but when you see the film, just realize that really is Tom Cruise doing all these things and there is no green screen or anything else that generally creates Hollywood Magic.

I don’t know where Cruise gets all his energy but what’s really amazing is that he didn’t just do these stunts once, he did them over and over again until they got it right.

 

Directed by Christopher McQuarrie from a script by him and Erik Jendresen, the story is the same MI theme developed by Bruce Geller for his television series, a dangerous mission to save the world. But this is not just the same movie done many times with different McGuffins, even though it is filled with chases that I usually abhor. It is unique enough to stand on its own. As the title indicates, though, there is more to come. As an added plus are terrific scenes of Rome and countrysides. The cinematography (Fraser Taggert) and Italian and Norwegian locations are gorgeous.

I’m not going to waste your time by writing thousands of words about it. I can’t imagine anyone not enjoying this.

Celebrity singer Shakira to face second investigation on alleged tax fraud in Spain

Celebrity singer Shakira is now facing a second probe on alleged tax fraud in Spain. On Thursday, a Spanish court said that there was an alleged fraud on income and wealth tax in 2018. The first investigation was for back taxes that were owed by the singer between 2012 and 2014. This case is expected to go on trial towards the end of this year. The Queen of Latin Pop as she is referred to by her web fans has denied any wrongdoing.

The Higher Court of Justice of Catalonia press office released a statement that an investigating magistrate belonging to the Barcelona suburb of Esplugues de Llobregat “has opened an investigation drawing on a complaint filed by prosecutors against the singer Shakira for two alleged counts.” These tax frauds reportedly took place in 2018.

Shakira was living with her partner legendary footballer Gerard Piqué and their two sons in Barcelona. After the celebrity couple ended their relationship of eleven years, a few months ago, the celebrity singer poured her angst into music and musical collaborations that have been super hits.

https://www.parisjewelry.com/

Celebrity Shakira also moved to Miami with her two sons, in April. A spokesperson for the Colombian born singer said on Thursday morning that Shakira “had not received any formal notification of the Prosecutor’s complaint.”

The spokesperson also said that her legal team would not comment until the notification reached them “through the official and legally established channels.”

The spokesperson added, “She must be notified personally at her new address, in strict accordance with the provisions of the Law.”

Shakira is not the only celebrity star to face tax evasion. Spanish authorities have also come down on celebrity soccer stars such as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. They were found guilty but avoided prison sentences due to a provision that allowed a judge to waive the sentences as the sentences were under two years for first time offenders.

The Grammy-award winning celebrity singer refused to settle the case. Spanish newspaper El Pais reported that Shakira said that she spent most of her time away from Spain and that she had not intentionally hidden her earnings and that misunderstandings were “a difference in criteria.”

https://organicgreek.com

The Spanish newspaper also said that the second case was due to “some alleged irregularity detected by the Treasury that, in the eyes of the Prosecutor’s Office, may constitute a crime.”

Celebrity Shakira is making waves with her music as she appears as a mermaid and more in her latest videos and is thrilling her fans. But she might have to come down to earth as her if she loses her first case, it can lead to her not only paying a hefty fine but could also lead to a prison term.

Watch Daily Shocker: Honduras unveils plan to build island prison as stand against MS-13 cartel, gang violence

0
El Salvador Government TV

Honduras, under the leadership of President Xiomara Castro, has announced plans to construct the only island prison colony in the Western Hemisphere. The “new Devil’s Island” shocker project is set on the remote Swan Islands (Islas del Cisne) archipelago, located 155 miles off the coast of Honduras. Its goal is to isolate and detain the most dreaded gang leaders, including 2,000 members of the infamous MS-13 cartel. Neighbor El Salvador unveiled an ‘impossible to escape’ mega-prison for gang members earlier this year.

President Castro’s initial promise to address gang violence through systemic reforms to governance and the criminal justice system has taken a dramatic turn, with her focusing on this isolated prison strategy. The decision came in the wake of a horrific incident, where 46 women were brutally killed during a gang-related massacre in one of the nation’s prisons. The atrocity was a wake-up call, prompting Castro to take “drastic measures” to crack down on the Barrio 18 and Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) gangs that have long terrorized the nation.

Island prisons were once common in Latin America, with countries such as Brazil, Costa Rica, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Panama, and Peru having housed such facilities. These prisons were notorious for their deadly riots, harsh conditions, and daring escapes, capturing the imaginations of filmmakers and authors alike. Nevertheless, the last such prison was closed in 2019, in Mexico.

 

While Honduran authorities believe that this historical shocker approach may help stem the wave of violence, critics argue that it merely addresses the surface issues and fails to tackle the root causes of endemic violence

The new penal colony’s remote location poses logistical challenges for gang leaders, as communication with the mainland is limited to satellite connectivity. Authorities hope this isolation will hinder their ability to continue running criminal operations from within the prison walls. Additionally, the island’s arduous journey of approximately one day by boat serves as a deterrent against escape attempts.

 

The recent shocker tragedy in Tamara, where about 46 women were killed as inmates were able to smuggle weapons and commit mass murder with apparent complicity from security authorities, underscores the urgent need for better prison conditions and enhanced security measures. As President Castro pushes forward with her ambitious plan to construct the island prison colony, Honduras remains at a critical juncture in its fight against gang violence.

Web fans delighted as Jeff Bezos’ Amazon unveils $120M investment for Project Kuiper satellite facility for internet access

Image: D Free

Amazon (AMZN) founder and CEO Jeff Bezos’ space exploration project, Project Kuiper, is one step closer to reality. The multinational technology company has announced a $120 million investment in a satellite processing facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The facility will play a crucial role in the deployment of the first satellites for Amazon’s internet network initiative, Project Kuiper.

The satellite processing facility will be located at the Launch and Landing Facility (LLF), a historic site where NASA once landed Space Shuttle missions. The LLF is operated by Space Florida, supporting the state’s space economy development. The Project Kuiper initiative aims to provide global broadband access by deploying 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO), delivering fast and affordable internet to unserved and underserved communities worldwide.

https://www.parisjewelry.com/

Amazon embarked on the research and development of Project Kuiper in 2018, and in July 2020, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) granted the company a license to deploy and operate its satellite network. The network’s benefits will extend beyond individual users to schools, hospitals, businesses, government agencies, and others operating in areas with limited connectivity.

Frank DiBello, CEO of Space Florida, expressed his excitement about Amazon’s decision to establish the satellite processing facility at the LLF, highlighting the state’s support for the space industry as a whole.

The 100,000-square-foot processing facility will serve as a critical step in preparing the satellites for launch. They will be transported to orbit aboard rockets from the United Launch Alliance and Blue Origin; a private space exploration company owned by Jeff Bezos.

https://organicgreek.com

Construction of the facility is set to be completed by the end of 2024, with production satellites passing through it in early 2025. While Amazon hopes to launch the first two Kuiper prototype satellites in the coming months, the timeline depends on the readiness of the rocket they will ride on. The company has already secured an impressive 77 launches to deploy the satellites promptly to meet regulatory requirements.

Project Kuiper currently employs over 1,400 people, with its main facilities situated near Seattle. As the project progresses, it represents a significant milestone in Amazon’s commitment to global connectivity and space exploration. With the satellite processing facility taking shape in Florida, the world awaits the day when Project Kuiper will make high-speed internet access a reality for people in even the most remote corners of the globe.

Shocker: Dark secrets of former police chief, James Burke, who mishandled Gilgo Beach murder investigation

0
Official Suffolk County Police Department Photo

The shocking revelation of a double life led by former Suffolk County police chief, James Burke, has left the nation in disbelief. The man who once held a position of authority bungled the investigation into the notorious Gilgo Beach serial killer while allegedly indulging in a life filled with drugs, cross-dressing, and relationships with prostitutes.

The Gilgo Murders, also known as the Long Island Serial Killer case, pertain to a series of unsolved homicides. The victims’, mostly females, bodies were discovered along Ocean Parkway in Suffolk County, New York, during the years 2010 and 2011. Architect Rex Heuermann was apprehended last week after DNA evidence linked him to the murders of at least three women, and the prime suspect in Maureen Brainard-Barnes’ murder.

https://www.parisjewelry.com/

Before the arrest of Heuermann, a number of scandals inside the police department had hindered the case. The storm centered on James Burke, the former chief of the Suffolk County Police Department, who had earlier been sentenced to 46 months for beating a thief who stole a bag that contained porn and sex toys from his police car.

Attorney John Ray, representing two families of the victims whose bodies were discovered along Gilgo Beach between 1996 and 2011, exposed the disgraced police chief’s affairs. Burke’s real devotion, it seems, was a shocker – to advance prostitution right in his own backyard.

 

For over a decade, Ray has fought to uncover the shocker – truth for the families of two victims – Shannan Gilbert and Jessica Taylor. The search for Gilbert led the police to discover four other women’s bodies wrapped in burlap. Despite the gravity of the situation, Burke allegedly closed the case, labeling Gilbert’s death as accidental, although her injuries suggested otherwise.

Taylor’s dismembered body parts were found scattered along Ocean Parkway, further intensifying the investigation. The FBI also joined forces, but Burke reportedly blocked their involvement due to their investigation into his attack on a thief and subsequent cover-up.

https://organicgreek.com

Burke’s shocking relationships with at least two sex workers, Lowrita Rickenbacker and Heather Malone, added intrigue to the case. Rickenbacker revealed Burke’s fondness for cross-dressing and crack cocaine, with the pair allegedly having an adult child together. Malone, linked to a prostitution ring, accompanied Burke on work events, using beepers to communicate discreetly.

Despite his tarnished reputation, Burke continued to rise through the ranks, eventually becoming the chief of the Suffolk County Police Department in 2011, with the help of his longtime mentor, Thomas Spota. However, the duo’s involvement in various scandals eventually caught up with them, leading to their imprisonment in 2016 and 2021, respectively.
